Veteran reliever Brad Ziegler—and the entirety of his remaining contract (approx. $3 million)—was traded to the Diamondbacks on Tuesday in exchange for minor league right-hander Tommy Eveld. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic first reported that the Dbacks were working on a deal for Ziegler. The deal is agreed to, but still pending a medical review, per multiple reports.
Ziegler owns a 3.98 ERA/4.59 FIP/3.53 xFIP this season for the Marlins in a National League-leading 53 appearances. His 74.0 percent ground ball rate is easily the highest among qualified relievers, and that has been on the rise lately.
